Georgetown Prep Tri-Meet Results

Our beloved Tigers went to Rockville, Maryland for a Tri-Meet against the Bullis School (Potomac, Md) and Georgetown Prep.  The boys wrestled very well and took the first one from Bullis, 53 to 21!  However, Georgetown Prep beat the Tigers 44-7!  It was a good day and we all see improvement in the boys!
